Papillon
(Book)
Henri Charriè re, called "Papillon," for the butterfly tattoo on his chest, was convicted in Paris in 1931 for a murder he did not commit. When he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colony of French Guiana, one thought obsessed him: escape. After planning and executing a series of treacherous yet failed attempts over many years, "Papillon" was eventually sent to the notorious prison, Devil's Island, a place from which no one had ever escaped -- that was, until "Papillon." His escape, described in breathless detail, was one of the most incredible tests of human cunning, will, and endurance. -- Publisher
